Lets Sarah Sanders quit after 94-day briefing drought and urges her to run for governor

Trump tweeted that Sarah Sanders would leave the White House at the end of June, called her 'a very special person' during an East Room event, and publicly prodded her to run for Arkansas governor even as watchdogs noted she had gone a record 94 days without a press briefing after admitting to Mueller that she lied from the podium.

"If we can get her to run for governor of Arkansas, I think she'll do very well." — Remarks during a White House event announcing Sarah Sanders' departure, June 13, 2019
